Jaconé Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about the upcoming surf at Jaconé.

We've got a solid run of swell on the way, but it's not for the faint of heart. The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year, so no wetsuit surprises.

The action kicks off on Monday, August 24th. The morning is looking big and powerful, with an 8 ft south swell packing some serious energy (2076). The wind is cross-off, so it'll be clean, but at that size, this is strictly for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets even bigger, pushing 10 ft from the south with a 14-second period and a massive 3234 energy reading. The wind stays favorable, but the forecast is calling it too big for this break. This is a standout for the big-wave crew only.

Tuesday, August 25th, is still punchy with 8 ft south swell in the morning, but the wind is picking up, making conditions less than ideal. The afternoon sees a similar story with 8 ft south swell and a bumpy cross-off breeze.

The real standout for clean, quality surf arrives on Wednesday, August 26th. The morning is a glassy dream with north-east wind at just 3 mph and a 5 ft south swell running on a very long 16-second period. The energy is still high (1943), but the glassy conditions will make it look perfect. The afternoon is bigger again at 8 ft, but the wind kicks back to cross-off.

Thursday, August 27th, is a morning special. We've got a 7 ft south swell with a 14-second period, but the wind is pure offshore from the north-east at 9 mph. That's gentle offshore and clean, with decent energy (2183). A solid session for the experienced. The afternoon turns onshore, so don't hang around.

Friday, August 28th, drops off in size. The morning has a clean 4 ft south swell with offshore wind, but the energy is much lower (566). It's a fun, smaller option.

The following week sees the swell mix and energy drop. We get a glassy morning on Saturday, August 30th, with a 7 ft east-north-east swell, but it's a short-period windswell. The bigger, cleaner south swells are gone. From Sunday, August 31st, through the start of September, the wind turns onshore and the swell fades right out. There's a big gap of poor conditions here.

The next real hope comes on Wednesday, September 2nd. The morning is completely glassy with a 6 ft south-south-west swell and a 9-second period. The energy is moderate (549), and the calm wind will make it look great. This is a good pick for a mid-week session.

The second week is a mixed bag of smaller swells and bumpy winds. Saturday, September 5th, has a clean 5 ft south-south-east swell with a good 11-second period and offshore wind, but the energy is moderate. After that, it's a slow tail-off into small, weak surf.

So, the standout days are Monday, August 24th (big, for experts) and Wednesday, August 26th (glassy, long period) for the first week, and Wednesday, September 2nd (glassy, fun size) for the second week. Get on it.

Rusty.
